            Bug ID: 12776
           Summary: $@ containing quoted string is split into separate
                    arguments
           Product: Busybox
           Version: 1.31.x
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Standard Compliance
          Assignee: unassigned at busybox.net
          Reporter: marius at psihoexpert.ro
                CC: busybox-cvs at busybox.net
  Target Milestone: ---

My system is a router (arm-brcm-uclibcgnueabi, armv7l) running kernel 2.26 and
busybox v1.31.1 (entware package)

To demonstrate this bug, create a file script.sh with this contents:

#!/bin/sh
for ARG in $@ ; do echo $ARG ; done

Execute it like this:

./script.sh arg0 "arg1a arg1b" 'arg2a arg2b'

Expected output:

arg0
arg1a arg1b
arg2a arg2b

Real ouput:

arg0
arg1a
arg1b
arg2a
arg2b

>From what I understand, field splitting should not occur inside double quotes.
